Hello.

You have a severe graphical glitch in your GTA V installer, which prevents me from installing the game. I can only see the slideshow, but not the path or any of the buttons. Instead, the area, where I suppose they are meant to be (at the bottom) is just grey. I have the latest drivers for my old AMD 6790, but the little birds told me you have problems with your installers on 64-bit Windows 7 systems, such as mine. I have tried the simple solutions, such as booting and changing the compatibility settings, but got nowhere. I even tried writing up custom .cue files, in case I could mount the .bin files as images, but that's a lot more difficult than it might first seem. I have no other ideas, as I haven't been able to find a fixed installer...

Any suggestions? Other than boiling my head.

do u have any screen shots of this messed up installer?
i currently use win 7 64bit and it was also coded on a 64bit system so theres no issues there
im not sure where u got that info from saying 64bit is broken its more like 32bit systems are broken since we include 64bit tools if the game is 64bit only so it fails on 32bit systems
your the first iv seen thats had issues with the layout of the installer if u can show me some screens i might be able to fix it

not something I have ever heard of there have been no reports I'm am aware of either, I personally use win7 ultimate x64, the installer has also been tested on win8 and 10. a very strange issue.

How could I install it, when I need to change the bloody path? There is a reason, why I have that many different partitions on three hard drives and it's not "just for fun"...

No need for that, as it's installing! I can't really monitor the progress, as the grey area is back, but it says it's installing on top of the slideshow... The path selection was nicely visible, as well as the other buttons, on the black background.

Thanks! Have a merry Christmas, guys!

Well... It never goes smoothly, does it? Now I'm having trouble with a missing batch file!

EDIT: I try running them manually. At least the first one is rebuilding stuff, so I hope this works...

I'm currently running the first batch file. I assume I have to run all of the numbered ones first, with _End.bat being the final clean up. If this doesn't work, then I will be more than happy to try out the new installer.

And you will know about it soon... Something went wrong with my manual run. It went well up to the batch number five on its own and then just crashed. I am going to try the new installer now.

I'm currently installing with the third version of the installer. I could've tried the second one, but instead I decided to play Fallout 4 instead... (Which, by the way, shouldn't even run on my graphics card, but I have texture problems very rarely, on minimum settings.) The second screen of the installer was OK, but the third one - showing the progress - is sort of "cropped". It only shows Ka and half of the O, with the lower progress bar being cut a bit from the bottom.

I don't mind testing, as I know how important that can be. It's still installing... :D

One thing I do mind, though, is that in the first phase of the installation process, the installer ate almost four gigabytes of memory. Now, that it's running four command prompts simultaneously, it's not bad at all. Just wondering, what kind of a massive memory leak the installer has, as that is really a lot of memory. Never seen that happening with any other Scene installer...

I got the game installed properly with the third installer. Runs very smoothly on my rather old rig @ 1280x720.

The latest installer looks very good, no graphical glitches on the first screen at least. I guess you could call that as a finished product now. ;) Happy Xmas and thank you very, very much!

it uses upto 2gb of ram to install we use that much to speed up the process im not sure why it runs 4 processes tho it only seems to run 2 if u run as admin so maybe the first run is just reopening it up as admin not sure about that it only runs it once for me since im always setup as a admin

the more ram we can use the faster it is to install alot of uswers now days should have more than 4gb of ram so 2gb for decompression seems fair
